There is a lot of truth to the “Cheers” theme song: When it comes down to human nature, we are all looking for a place “where everyone knows your name.”

The Balanced Rock Eatery and Pub in Helper, Utah, can easily become a place you go to before you start an adventure or the place you go to gloat about the experiences and adventures you’ve already enjoyed. Read more »

Tarahumara- Mexican among the Swiss in Midway

Sauteed shrimp in orange and tequila sauce

So often we fall into the trap that Mexican food is what you get at any of the fast-food “Mexican” restaurants that dot the land. While this is what American Mexican has evolved into, it is a far cry from what might be considered truly authentic. It’s like comparing the fortune cookie to authentic Chinese food. But, as much as we might enjoy the American-Mexican we’ve come to expect, it is refreshing to find places like Tarahumara. Read more »

For people living in Salt Lake or Utah county, a getaway from the stressful work week may feel like it can never happen because many of your favorite attractions may be far away. For anyone in that predicament, Heber City can be the solution.

Leslie’s Family Tree Restaurant

Posted on April 11, 2012 by TZRollins

We stopped in to Leslie’s Family Tree Restaurant on a warm Friday afternoon, ready to appease our hungry bellies. We sat down at a long table near the front, and placed our orders, which included scones. This is important. Let us note here a couple of things: first, a lot of the places we’ve gone to here in Utah serve scones; second, we had read in numerous places that Leslie’s scones were some of the best.

Big Burger

Posted on April 5, 2012 by TZRollins

Big Burger. The beginning of it all. This particular drive-in has a very special place in our hearts, as it is the restaurant that inspired it all. This was the first small-town joint that we tried, and that was only because we were in the mood for a small-town place. It was a dark day in the spring of last year, and Big Burger shown like a beacon of hope on that day to us. Read more »

Arshel’s Cafe

Posted on March 27, 2012 by TZRollins

Arshel’s Cafe in Beaver, Utah is great. Simple as that. Like many of the restaurants we go to, this is just a couple of minutes from I-15. As we mentioned when writing about Maria’s Cocina, we didn’t know this place (or any place in Beaver, for that matter) existed; and as with Maria’s, it is worth the couple of extra minutes to actually go into the town and eat at an actual restaurant, rather than going to one of the fast food joints found right by the exits.

Parowan Cafe

Posted on March 19, 2012 by TZRollins

Having stayed the night in Parowan, it only seemed appropriate that we enjoy some breakfast there in the morning. Though the city isn’t really large, there are a lot of people who travel through because of its location. From Parowan, you can take Highway 143 which cuts through the city, and takes you up to Brian Head ski resort and Cedar Breaks national monument; it is also a convenient place to stop for gas, as there is a large truck stop just off of I-15 at the exit for Parowan. For breakfast, we went to the Parowan Cafe (or Teresa’s Parowan Cafe according to their website). Read more »

Maria’s Cocina

The carnitas, tacos, and a glass of the homemade horchata

Posted on July 8, 2011 by TZRollins

For anyone that may have had the same idea that we had about Beaver (that is that Beaver is just a small town that is only good for truck stops),you owe it to the town to drive through and see what Beaver is really all about, because in all reality Beaver is about as quaint as a small city can be. Beaver is a nice place to stop on your way south, but it’s also got more to it then that. Like many of the cities we go to and have gone to, we were directed to an awesome place to eat. Read more »

Hi Mountain Drug

Aussie burgers and Ironport. Incredible food.

Posted on June 15, 2011 by TZRollins

For the best burgers in the state of Utah, one might expect a nice burger joint located in Salt Lake, perhaps a place like Park City, or any of the other major cities throughout the state. Amazingly, to get the state’s best burgers (an award given by more than one group, including Utah’s “Best of State” for three years), you need to travel to the small town of Kamas. Read more »
